Results from the question on FACEBOOK. I've left the thumbnails there as opposed to their names for privacy reasons as well as to prove I had different results. 

I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's important to remember that the people who have been asked are not my target audience. To be fair, the results are very similar and to what I was hoping for. One girl, said foot, for identification... an answer I wasn't expecting but none the less, different associations for different people. I should have stressed it was a game for children in the caption for the image because it appears that people think the lips symbols is representing love/lust when actually, I think that children will associate it with speech or to talk. 

I must add that it's not the response I was hoping for as far as numbers go. I was hoping for a lot more of my 700 friends to respond but was left with 7! A shocking result where I can say only 1% responded! 

What I am suprised at is, previously, the tree has had mixed signals with people saying that it wouldn't work, however people are correct in saying nature which is sort of the result I was really hoping for. Maybe I should have given a brief introduction to what will happen in the game.

update

I'm at the stage now where I think everything is okay go, as far as design goes. Each symbol represents an action or requirement, so in saying that, I've posted this to the social networking site, Facebook to get some feedback from the general public. I understand that the people on thereare not of my target audience.

I'll get back to this with the results later on :)

inspiring...

"The potential for computer gaming in the classroom is becoming more and more recognised by teachers as a way of generating engaged learning amongst students. Studies are finding that games make learning fun by using entertainment as an educational tool. The idea is that the child will enjoy themselves and forget that they’re learning, but still maintain the knowledge they pick up while playing."

SO LOOK WHAT I FOUND AND STUMBLED UPON...

A girl wearing a vest, with a bird on it, very very very similar to the one that is in my game! I had to get a photo and ask for the details, but when looking around for a 'Candy Love' - not alot has turned up, but a few similar designs, all involving the bird, on image search engines. It was apparently sold in the Republic stores for a while. If only, I could have used this as an example of inspiration, but I think it's a bit late in the year to be saying that. However, thought it would be nice to include it here :) 

The story so far. or not.

 From this

To this. 

The above images show some sort of development for this catastrophe of an idea. I feel, it could go up in smoke because my mind wants to change things all the time. I can't stay fixed on something specific for too long without having to think about what's', if's, how's and when's ! Its ridiculous. Surely there's some sort of neurologist that can sort that our right?  

On another note, most replies I have received from posting on various forums and discussion boards have shown that I'm actually not alone. I had 5 replies stating they were trying to do the same thing as far as using a floor mat interactively with a narrative goes. Strange.

Make a moviescript and put in this:

on startmovie
 set the keyDownscript to "keyDown"

end

on KeyDown

 if _key.keyPressed("a") then go to marker("three")

end

and your framescript is just:


on exitFrame me

 Go to the frame

end

it's the worst programme I could come across. It's a pain to understand even though, the game I made last year was alot more structured and required more code, so I don't understand why I feel I'm under this stupendous amount of pressure.

The highlighted box with a black squared around says, "keypressed("96") which is meant to correspond with the letter A in ASCII code or whatever it is. It won't go to the next marker and this is killing me!!
